Title: Dugas is Mr. Consistency Post by: SUPERCOACH on April 10, 2012, 12:00:22 PM Quote TUSCALOOSA | There was a moment in the gloaming Saturday when the Crimson Tide's two best hitters of the past 20 years shared a moment only true greatness understands. On the left, Andy Phillips. In front, Taylor Dugas. In the afterglow of Dugas' two-out, two-run walk-off blast to sink old foe Auburn, the pair found themselves face to face, laughing and reeling. Lost in the hysteria, Phillips, the University of Alabama's hitting coach, reached out and gave his star pupil a comedic two-handed shove, an "I-can't-believe-you-just-did-that" look crawling across his face. Try as you might to slow him down, Andy, Dugas is coming. http://alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1353142 Title: Re: Dugas is Mr. Consistency Post by: BAMAWV on April 10, 2012, 12:49:56 PM I used to "Roll Tide" Magadan around 1st base at Shea. He always gave a "Roll Tide" or sometimes just a nod in return.

I'm not sure how he will do in the big league but he will go down as one of the best to ever play at Alabama in my book.

There is just a whole lot that can be said about getting your lead-off runner on base.Title: Re: Dugas is Mr. Consistency Post by: ALTideUp on April 10, 2012, 03:11:17 PM Went to my first game of the season on Sunday afternoon. Beautiful day for baseball. Anyway, I was struck by how small are players are. Dugas, esp.

Anyway, I was struck by how small are players are. Dugas, esp. I agree. I commented all last year has small our team is. We are no bigger this year. IMO it has a lot to do with our lack of power at the plate. With that said I will take some players at any size. Dugas is one I want on my team. |
